ESAT scoring

Does anyone know what scores on the ESAT, ranging from 1.0 to 9.0, you typically need in order to get an interview for natural sciences at Cambridge?

For people who did get an interview, what score did you achieve?

Thank you

They don't have a cut-off score, and they don't seem to mind too much if your esat score isn't exceptional. I've seen people getting interviews with averages between 4 and 5, most seem to be around 6 or 7 but I've even known someone who got an interview with an average of 3.7.

Moral of the story, don't get too hung up on your esat scores. Obviously aim to do well, and if you really want to stand out aim for scores above 6 especially in more relevant
modules, but it's absolutely realistic to get an interview with scores below this if your personal statement and reference are good.
